However, if the system created an agent, other things I put in place when I create the agent are not there, and I get a failure report. I am reminded of the air conditioning in our family cars. I have a 1999 Camry. It has an excellent AC system. When I want more wind, I turn the fan-speed knob. Now my wife has a 2003 Camry. When it decides I should have more wind, it turns up the fan... I dread the day I will have to shop for a new car. If I wanted a system to transparently decide things like "I should have an ssh-agent", I would use Microsoft (may we be protected from the evil eye). ;) Mike. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
